Purses for Primates

Allison Boyer has been running her non-profit Purses for Primates for the last six years. She collects gently used purses to re-sell at "purse party" events. 100% of the proceeds raised are donated to Orangutan Outreach. So far, she has been able to raise over $27,000 in her efforts. Last year, Allison went to South Korea for a business competition where her team placed second in the world as a social enterprise business. She has also been filmed for a documentary series by Morgan Spurlock, that highlighted her work in orangutan conservation.

Allie's events are held in Northern California and her whole family helps out! She's been so successful that she caught the attention of several other Orangutan Outreach supporters! A few of them have been so impressed by Allie's dedication and tenacity that they have been sending her purses to sell at her Purses for Primates events.
